djRyoji's Corner - Video Game Piano Vol. I (20 arrangements + sheetbook)

[DonValentino]

I'll be nazi about the accidentals now:

In the B major part: I'd suggest changing the Db into C#, just because that will clear up any confusion when you are going to a D natural in the next measure. Either that, or parenthesize the D naturals!
It's the same in the C major part, of course: Eb into D#, or parenthesize the E naturals where necessary.
The rest seems fine!

Alright, alright, mein fuhrer...

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time - "Elder Princess Shroob Appears" MUS

[DonValentino]

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time - "Gritzy Desert" MUS

[Jompa]

Alright, alright, mein fuhrer...

What a terrible joke, but don't worry, I still love you.

Now, it's all well and fine that you chose parenthesize the D naturals and the E naturals, but now you have parenthesized the G naturals and the A naturals as well, which is unnecessary - I don't know if you wanna bother, but those should be removed.

And your newest arrangement is great!
On something else:
I'll probably finish an arrangement of "Honest Feelings" from The Melancholy soon, that I've been working on for like three weeks or so, so check that out later when I upload it!

Aye, aye, captain! (better? xD)
Updated it in the last post.

And your newest arrangement is great!

Thanks! But I'm a bit disappointed with it. I would have liked the part from measure 29-30 all over the song too. Sounds a little bit empty. But oh well, that's the only way it could be arranged and be playable!

Just checked it out. Magnificent as always!

I get what you mean, that is always an issue when arranging for piano..

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time - "Another's Requiem" (Elder Princess Shroob Battle) MUS

[Jompa]

Very epic!

[DonValentino]

Indeed! Mario & Luigi games have incredibly epic final battles, but I don't want to go into spoilers. I just hope that M&L Dream Team has as good music and final battle as the other games!

Let's see the poll... Hmm... More from PiT? Well, why not?
I think I'll do "Ending" and "The End", and then leave PiT songs for a while.

By the way, next week I will be very busy again, so don't expect me to arrange as fast as I did this week!

[SlowPokemon]

Sound selection's name is "Another's Requiem"--you don't need to use it, the only reason I would is that it avoids spoilers with the final boss's identity. Of course, the game is eight years old so it's not that big of an issue.

[DonValentino]

Thanks, Slow! I never knew the existence of that album until now.

I'm glad it has another name, I wasn't really convinced with "Elder Princess Shroob Battle", sounded too random and technically it just plays when you fight her 2nd form, so it's not accurate either.

Hope you liked it and thanks again!

Aaaand again I bring this up

Almost nobody searching for "Elder Princess Shroob Battle" will know that it and "Another's Requiem" are the same thing. That's why I'd prefer "Elder Princess Shroob Battle".

[SlowPokemon]

Yep that's the one reason against using it. I think either name is acceptable.

You could also just put "Final Battle" if you wanted.

The same happens with "Staff Credits" and "Dance with Babies". I don't think it's a big deal. Besides, it's the official name, and it's hard to go against that.

Either way, I can put the file name as "Another's Requiem (Elder Princess Shroob Battle)", if that clarifies things.

You could also just put "Final Battle" if you wanted.

I'm not very convinced with titles like "Boss Battle", "Final Boss" or "Final Battle" either. They sound too generic and random.
If there is another valid option, I go with that one.

[SlowPokemon]

You c an probably keep "Another's Requiem" for now, I think it's most concise.

[DonValentino]

Yeah, agreed.

BTW, new poll, everyone!
